Hey All,
Not really sure if this is an issue or just something due to the fact that there is no tune, but thought I would ask for the sake of knowledge.
My car currently has the FI Exhaust Catted (200CEL) downpipe along with the catback valvetronic portion. I also have the Eventuri Intake/Box currently.
**FULL DISCLOSURE** I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE both the FI Exhaust and Eventuri Intake systems. This is in no means a negative thread.
Sometimes after driving the car in sport mode for 30min or longer the car seems to seriously lag as far as power/rpm climbing. Basically I will put my foot to the floor and it takes forever for the car to respond and climb rpm's. Then onces it reaches about 4-5K it pulls hard. Almost like there is some MAJOR turbo lag. It is the weirdest thing. Then after driving in "Auto" mode for a couple minutes, assuming everything kind of cools down, everything is back to normal.
The exhaust has been on for a few months now, and to this day have not had any CEL codes or check engine lights on. Car over all drives fine.
Just wanted to get a sanity check to if this is something that could be normal due to not having a tune to compensate for the new exhaust? This is the first car I have ever owned/modified the exhaust and did not add a tune immediately.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Cheers,
